The gaming community is abuzz with the launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, and while new modes and maps are exciting, it's Sue Storm's Malice outfit that's truly capturing attention. Let's delve into who Malice is in Marvel Comics and how you can acquire the skin in *Marvel Rivals*.
Who Is Malice in Marvel Comics?
In the vast universe of Marvel Comics, several characters have taken on the name Malice. Most are minor villains, and one is a mutant recruited by Mister Sinister into his Marauders. However, the Malice that *Marvel Rivals* introduces is an alter-ego of Sue Storm, akin to The Hulk's relationship with Bruce Banner.
After experiencing a miscarriage, Sue Storm finds herself in a vulnerable state, which the villain Psycho-Man exploits to awaken Malice. This causes significant turmoil for the Fantastic Four. With the help of her husband, Reed Richards, Sue manages to break free from Malice's influence, but the alter-ego reappears during the Fantastic Four's quest with Silver Surfer to find the Infinity Gems. This storyline is so pivotal that it was adapted into the '90s *Fantastic Four* animated series episode titled "World Within Worlds."

How To Get the Malice Invisible Woman Skin in Marvel Rivals
Although it's been some time since Malice last appeared in Marvel media, NetEase Games has brought her iconic design to their hero shooter. The Malice skin will be available with the release of Invisible Woman, who joins the game in the Season 1 update on January 10th, 2025.
As of now, there's no official word on the cost of the Malice skin in *Marvel Rivals*. However, considering the pricing of other skins, it's likely to be around 2,400 Lattice. It's worth noting that skins often go on sale, so it might be wise to wait for a price drop before purchasing this sinister version of Invisible Woman.
Importantly, Malice will not be included in the Season 1 Battle Pass. While the pass offers ten unlockable costumes, leaks confirm that none of these are alternate styles for the Fantastic Four members.
That covers who Malice is and how you can obtain the Invisible Woman skin in *Marvel Rivals*.
*Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.*
